Horror doesn’t always come from masked strangers or haunted houses—it can live in the spaces we know best: our homes, our families, our bodies, our memories. In this workshop, we will explore the art of intimate horror, the kind that thrives on emotional stakes and the uncanny hiding in everyday life. Using classic and contemporary examples, from Jackson to Jones, we will dissect how to weave dread into the familiar. How to let vulnerability deepen terror. Expect discussion and guided exercises to infuse your fiction with the deeply personal and terrifying.
